alfizta 6 Report post Posted October 16, 2013 (edited) as I am posting this, I think I know what the problem is... it's a viscous green liquid forming beneath the battery on my 146... probably coolant leak. what do you think? p.s.: how do you upload images???

LJ_GQV 115 Report post Posted October 16, 2013 Not sure on the liquid but to upload photo's i use the tapatalk forum app on my phone or put the photo's into photobucket (anything like that will work) & then copy/paste the link codes & the photos appear in full Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Smaky 73 Report post Posted October 16, 2013 Does your 146 have AIRCON? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Smaky 73 Report post Posted October 16, 2013 I can't see pics on that site because of the ban, but I would thenk if it's green it's the aircon pipe under the battery which is split. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alfizta 6 Report post Posted October 16, 2013 shouldn't the picure be public? but ok. I already was on a workaround. this should do it https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B95bbIoEn5n1VEhoVENTbi0wSG8/edit?usp=sharing&pli=1 about AO, couldn't you just register with another username, or you think they just don't deserve it?

Smaky 73 Report post Posted October 16, 2013 My thoughts on AO and those who own it are well known, sadly the few (painter girl, bobda, autolusso, pud237, davidc.....) on there have lost the benefit for the many, but there is still here though. As for the green, that is definately A/C r134a gas/die, and it pretty much shows you where the leak is. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alfizta 6 Report post Posted October 17, 2013 sorry for bringing the subject back in public, but as you surely know, you were a big loss to the forum, and I never understood why. about the thread topic, well, it's really a shame, cause it was refilled not 3 months ago when it had totally new shockers... and the people in charge were supposed to check the leak first... today just spent a lot a money fixing an alternator and a power steering hose leak and, just after, spoted this... is it a diy job? (I guess not...) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alfizta 6 Report post Posted October 18, 2013 before I forget, thank you very much, Smaky! somewhat relived, at least it is not something needed for the alfie to run... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
